Shut down command

Can someone post their shutdown command? I tried to make my own batch file but it didnt work. I have my hyperspin in the C:\ drive.

Try running this on exit.

Just to add to the file provided:

Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy]

No args Display this message (same as -?)
-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option
-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s Shutdown the computer
-r Shutdown and restart the computer
-a Abort a system shutdown
-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort
-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds
-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)
-f Forces running applications to close without warning
-d [u] [p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown
u is the user code
p is a planned shutdown code
xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)
yy is the minor reason code (positive integer less than 65536)

I use this command: shutdown -s -f -t 00

I tried Brian's zip file and it just logs me off, it doesnt shut down the PC.

Propaganda, do i just copy and paste that into the box in HyperHQ?

There have been many threads on this topic with the same answer, but here you go!

If you are using Windows Vista, use the following in your settings.ini:

Code:

[Exit Program]
Executable=shutdown.exe
Paramaters=/s /f /t 0
Working_Directory=C:\Windows\System32\
WinState=NORMAL

If you are using Windows XP, use the following in your settings.ini:

Code:

[Exit Program]
Executable=shutdown.exe
Paramaters=-s -t 0
Working_Directory=C:\Windows\System32\
WinState=NORMAL

hey man - works a treat !

any ideas how to flick the switch on the cab to save electricity or even how to make it unplug itself? (just kidding)

thanks man

Sure do! You could use a 2-plug to 3-plug converter in conjunction with http://www.shoptronics.com/wireco3poous1.html

Then you have a switch you can take anywhere to turn it off?

what about a smart strip? I know they're like $80 buck, but I picked up a $20 version by phillips at frys a couple of months ago.

when my cab turns off, it automatically turns off the marquee light, monitor, and speakers. and when I push power it turns them all back on

a lot of companies are starting to market these as "green" strips.
